Hello all,
I have had quite the journey scouring the internet to determine if my air compressor will work for blowing out my lines. It seems like both HP and capacity are important. Some people state 5 gallons, others state at least 2 HP. Others say smaller is fine. Others say the compressor must be "good".
Are there guidelines for determining if your air compressor is "good" enough. Mine is a pancake compressor, 150 psi 6 gallon capacity with .8 HP. Will this work for me? Or is this something that we just have to try and see if we are successful at blowing out the lines? What do we set the regulator to when blowing out the lines? Are there any ways we can make sure the lines are blown out correctly, especially the return lines if they are remaining underwater?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have been really confused about this topic. Hopefully others have as well that are new at this, and the experts here can provide us with some direction! Thank you!
Best,
Scott
